The Shocker...

No, not that kind of Shocker...that will be another post!

We're talkin' acoustic footprint...shock waves in the water...big fly, big push!

I have been fly tying my ass off lately. Mostly production tying but as a unabashed man-child I'm prone to daydreams and being utterly distracted with the stuff I find in my vise...you could say it is my vice!

When I turn out a special fly I just have to go down to the pool where I am staying and take it for a swim...then I get inspired about 100 different ways and get to experimenting and shit...there goes another productive day down the tubes!

I'm far, far away from being any type of scientist. But I like to experiment and have some kind of Universal understanding of Physics. Lately it seems like there are some cutting edge anglers out there seeking the truth beyond the traditional understanding of what makes fish tick.

I was reading something Nick Granato wrote the other day about UV spectrum and the way fish see...pretty cool stuff. Nick is a really cool angler and badass fly tier.

Here is my two cents worth today (and it is 1/2 price Monday)
